Myung Tae-kyun delivers a warning message to the political community

Myung Tae-kyun, who was arrested and indicted on charges of violating the Political Fund Act and released on bail after 145 days, has thrown a strong warning to the political community.

Through his social media, Myung compared himself to a lion that had to face gladiators in ancient Rome, leaving a message saying, "Which prey should I bite first to make them cheer and roar?"

This reveals his determination not to yield to pressures and demands for false disclosures from the political sphere.

Myung expressed that he feels like a starving lion trapped in the Colosseum. He alluded to contemplating what choices he should make amid the pressures of power, stating, "I can hear the cheers of the crowd from afar, and the czar (emperor) is looking down at me." He emphasized that "no one should force me to tell lies," revealing that it seems both progressive and conservative politicians are pressuring him for false disclosures.

Myung, who has been operating a polling company in Changwon, Gyeongnam, primarily establishing relationships with conservative politicians, is known to have maintained a close relationship with former President Yoon Suk-yeol after contacting him ahead of the 20th presidential election.

However, former Daegu Mayor Hong Joon-pyo and Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon have denied any connections with Myung.

After being released on bail, Myung remained tight-lipped during an interview with the Changwon District Prosecutor's Office, citing that he is currently involved in court proceedings. He avoided comments related to former President Yoon and stated that he is not at a stage to speak about former Mayor Hong and Mayor Oh as well.

Amidst this, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon has given up on running in the 21st presidential election, leading to interpretations within the political community that Myung Tae-kyun's risks have had an impact.
